What I'm Doing...

@lynnehorn we are going to La Thuile, not far from Pila. Conditions were fabulous last week when I was there. in reply to lynnehorn 15 hrs ago
taking down Christmas tree, and worrying about ski trip. Being in charge of 101 kids on a week's ski trip to Italy weighs heavily on me. 16 hrs ago
@johnjohnston this kind of thing was inevitable given the experience earlier in the year with folk putting uname/pwd into random sites. in reply to johnjohnston 1 day ago

Outdoor Quadrilaterals

Published October 24th, 2008 in Education, mathematics

Inspired by John Johnston’s post, I borrowed some GPS devices from Geography today and took a small class out onto the astroturf, where they tried to draw giant quadrilaterals.

We ended up being rather short of time, and had a few technical problems, but a good time was had by all and the students had to think about the properties of quadrilaterals in order to be successful. I’ll hopefully have a google map to add to this post on Monday.

Here’s the map.
